Chapter 248 Don’t worry, I won’t look for strange people
In Jiang Xia's impression, the place where Jiang Yuan Shiong was scheduled to die was a party called "Izu Mysterious Journey".
The organizer of the party was a person with the forum ID "Dark Night Baron". Dark Night Baron invited some people online to go to the Izu Princess Hotel for a three-day and two-night trip.
During the trip, the organizer will hide among the participants as "Night Baron" and create some events one after another. Those who can discover the true identity of "Night Baron" can get a prize - a virus also called "Night Baron".
Before, after Jiang Xia saw the name "Egwon Tokio" on the assassination list, he immediately went to the forum to search for relevant information.
He successfully found the Dark Night Baron's event post, but by then, registration had already ended.
If you want to pick up ghosts, you either have to travel to the same place or keep an eye on other people’s places - this forum does not have real-name authentication and places can be transferred.
Jiang Xia remembered that an old friend of Dr. Agasa had signed up for this trip, but when the trip was about to start, the man's granddaughter fell ill, so he gave the opportunity to Dr. Agasa.
The doctor is not very interested in the computer field. Recently he is still preparing to join a society and does not have much time to travel.
So Jiang Xia thought that if Dr. Agasa really received an invitation, he could go to his house more often to see the situation, and he might be able to get the qualification to participate.
Anyway, the two houses are so close, so I can just go there when I want to return my lunch box or get a free meal.
Compared to paying out of pocket and making a deliberate trip to Izu, this kind of participation qualification "voluntarily given by others" is less likely to arouse suspicion.
…
After making a plan, the next day, Jiang Xia went next door to have breakfast with Huibara Ai.
As a result, he went too early. Dr. Agasa stayed up late to do experiments yesterday and hasn't gotten up yet.
Jiang Xia sighed silently, thinking that the old man deserved to have so little hair.
The first attempt to get involved in the case failed.
The charging time of Dr. Agasa is unknown. It is not realistic and too deliberate to wait until he wakes up.
So Jiang Xia didn't stay too long, but continued to do his business - after carrying a few cat bags out, he went to the detective agency as usual to receive the invitation letter and deal with the backlog of affairs.
A day passed, all the cats were delivered, and no invitations arrived.
Jiang Xia said he was very calm.
At night, Jiang Xia locked the door of the detective agency and continued to go to Dr. Agasa's house for dinner, and by the way, he started his second attempt to get a case.
This time, the doctor woke up, but he did not mention the mysterious journey to Izu. Perhaps he had not yet received the quota transferred from others.
However, what was more surprising was that after dinner, Jiang Xia suddenly received a text message.
…
The sender was shown as "Hijikata Yukisaburo", a middle-aged actor who is quite famous but has recently been involved in scandals.
Not long ago, Jiang Xia and this person participated in the same detective variety show.
At that time, Hijikata Yukisaburo discovered Jiang Xia's "cheating" behavior in the reasoning game, and his attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn, from ignoring Jiang Xia and even avoiding her, to quickly developing into a smiling but dagger-hidden exchange of business cards.
Jiang Xia then saved his number.
…
At this time, after receiving the text message, Jiang Xia unlocked the screen and clicked to check it.
Then, as expected, he discovered that this was indeed a message inviting him to be a guest - the reason was that Hijikata Yukisaburo would be taking part in a detective TV series in the near future, and he wanted to ask the famous detective Jiang Xia about the real detective life.
The time is rather tight, it will be tomorrow, and there are some obscure additional messages.
Jiang Xia sensed a hint of ill will from this invitation.
But he didn't mind at all, because the murderous aura was obviously stronger.
Jiang Xia moved his fingers happily and replied, "I will definitely be on time."
He still remembered the murderous aura of Hijikata Yukisaburo.
It seems that after so many days of preparation, Hijikata finally couldn't hold back and decided to carry out his plan of "killing his wife in front of the detective."
…
Hijikata Yukisaburo's life has been extremely stressful recently - he and his wife have been accusing each other of cheating, but he was outsmarted and failed to keep any evidence of his wife's infidelity, and instead was photographed by her infidelity.
Currently, his wife is using this to extort high alimony from him.
Hijikata Yukisaburo was defeated by his opponent and in anger decided to overturn the chessboard.
——He used the layout of his home to carefully design a murder method, and planned to find someone with enough weight to speak as a "witness" for him. He tried to clear his name on the spot after the crime was committed, and by the way, put the blame for the murder on the young neighbor who cheated on him.
In the last variety show, Hijikata discovered Jiang Xia's "cheating", which made him feel that Jiang Xia was a poor detective with only fame but no ability. The ability to solve the case was entirely due to the capital operation and think tank behind him.
The recent serial murders in the underwater restaurant further confirmed Hijikata Yukisaburo's idea.
——What do you mean by the shadow of the car accident... Haha, this must be just an excuse for Jiang Xia not to solve the case. The real reason for not solving the case must be that the incident happened suddenly. In such a closed sea, his think tank could not provide support, so he didn't say anything in that case.
In short, in Hijikata Yukisaburo's opinion, Jiang Xiayi is an excellent "eyewitness".
Moreover, in the last show, Jiang Xia looked very flustered after he caught her cheating. Hijikata Yukisaburo claims to be a veteran in the entertainment industry. When faced with such timid, indecisive, and mentally ill young people, he can control everything with one hand.
Jiang Xia has the leverage in his hand, so he definitely won't dare to refuse this invitation.
To be on the safe side, in the invitation text message sent to Jiang Xia, Hijikata Yukisaburo deliberately arranged the meeting time very close, so that Jiang Xia would not have time to discuss with his think tanks.
In addition, after the "ps", Hijikata Yukisaburo also specifically wrote that this was a friendship guidance - the two people just needed to meet in private, and don't bring some strange people in.
This "strange person" is of course referring to the think tank behind Jiang Xia.
…
Hijikata Yukisaburo sent a carefully written text message and was about to go pour a cup of tea.
As soon as I stood up, my cell phone rang.
He was startled and looked at the screen, then saw that it was Jiang Xia who replied to the message - the fake detective really agreed.
And it was a reply in seconds.
This speed and attitude made Hijikata Yukisaburo nod secretly with satisfaction.
It seems that Jiang Xia has indeed realized that he has caught him.
Maybe these days, Jiang Xia had been anxiously waiting to be contacted by him, and even added him to her special attention list...that's why she replied so quickly.
